4. REPROCESSING
The AIRVO 2, including the outlet elbow, must be cleaned and disinfected between patients according
to the instructions in the Disinfection Kit Manual (900PT600). Single-patient use accessories must be
disposed of between patients to prevent cross-contamination.
Reprocessing should take place as soon as possible after use. The unit utilizes warmed water and can pose
a risk of bacterial colonization and patient infection if cleaning, disinfection, and replacement procedures
are not followed.
Standard aseptic techniques to minimize contamination should be followed when handling the unit
and accessories. This includes proper hand-washing, avoiding hand contact with connection ports, safe
disposal of the use consumables, and suitable storage of the unit after cleaning and disinfection.
SCHEDULE FOR CHANGING ACCESSORIES
The accessories for the unit must be changed frequently to avoid the risk of infection. Parts should be
replaced immediately if they are damaged or discolored; otherwise they must be replaced within the
periods shown in the following table.
